I'm sorry, but "revert back to revision x" isn't very well defined,
since there probably isn't a version of it at revision x, right?
Subversion keeps track of the changes to a file, and the file on trunk
and the one on branch are different files. If they have a common point
in history (and I assume they have), you could merge the changes, i.e.
apply the changes to the one on trunk to the one on branch. You might
need to undo changes to the file on branch before that.

You could, of course, just check out trunk @ 18311, copy the file over
to your branch (regular copy, not svn copy), and commit.
